For those of you unfamiliar with Mr. Abhay Bhushan, he is one of the early pioneers of the internet. Those of you in the know, know in 1971 he wrote “RFC 114” while attending MIT. For any one else Planning on reading further, that would be “File Transfer Protocol” (FTP).

He also pioneered the earliest versions of e-mail for the ARPANet and, subsequently, the Internet. And he didn’t stop there—he was a big time contributor to the development of the Internet: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) architecture.

Now that’s what I call pulling a rabbit out of your hat.

He didn’t waste his time at MIT, either. He graduated with a masters in Electrical Engineering and a degree in Management from MIT’s Sloan School of Management. Before MIT, he graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur receiving a Bachelor’s of Technology in Electrical Engineering.

Phew. *Fannie mops her brow.*

But wait there’s more. If that wasn’t enough, he runs marathons. And is an Ironman triathlete. Way to go Mr. Bhushan. What ever you do, don’t go back and look at his birthday.

Me, I’ve got the “ath” part down, but I’m still working on the “-lete”.

Me. Running a half marathon. Still working on the “-lete”. (Okay, I needed a picture for the post.)

Where is he today? He’s the chairman of Asquare, Inc., in San Francisco, California. Since there are no common domain photos available, here is his Linked In profile page.

So the next time you upload, download, or send an e-mail, be sure to thank Abhay Bhushan. Write on . . . .

“That was an incredible run, Bill, and I’d say an incredible play all around.”

“Fabulous, fabulous playing here today! Do you think they worked that out in advance, Bob, or just saw the opportunity and jumped on it.”

“It’s hard to say, Bill. Ordinarily I’d guess with a complex handoff like that I’d say it was coordinated and worked out beforehand, because you got, uh, such close integration of the, uh, subject matter, but the way that played out it looked so spontaneous, and, uh, that’s not something you can fake, so I’d have to say that this was a, uh, highly fortunate confluence of circumstances there, adding up to one magical moment in BoFN sports.”

“This is definitely one for the history books, Bob! And stay tuned, BoFN fans, for more action when we get back!”

“Well, Bill, it looks like that HAT is not an acronym for anything. It looks like Fannie’s working with some kind of metaphor, there.” – Well played, sir. Haha, this comment was at least as good as the article above. Yeah, go team!

The presentation and working together of artistes of
various genres also enables creative artistes of this region to get to
know each other’s creations and opens up possibilities of working together in the future.
Films that could make Dick Cheney cry and hug a
giant teddy bear while sucking on his thumb. It has been seen thus that some personalities elicit
friendship quite naturally amongst themselves.
